Questions From Minister AJ Wisti & Minister Tim Greco
The Mentions of Buddhism & Spiritual Thinking Outside of Traditional Christianity Are From Minister AJ Wisti
Questions authored by Minister AJ Wisti. Responses compiled with biblical, historical, and philosophical references for a broader spiritual perspective.
The Godhead in the Amplified Bible (AMP)
"How would you explain the Godhead?"
The Amplified Bible reveals the Godhead as Father, Son (Jesus Christ, Yeshua), and Holy Spirit — three Persons, one Divine Essence. Much like light passing through a prism, the One God manifests in distinct yet unified forms. Scripture supports this in Colossians 2:9 (AMP): "For in Him all the fullness of Deity (the Godhead) dwells in bodily form." Buddhist philosophy hints at a "Threefold Refuge" — Buddha, Dharma, Sangha — a triune concept of enlightenment, teaching, and community, reflecting the divine pattern found across spiritual traditions.
The Son: Yeshua and His Role
"How would you explain the Son?"
Yeshua (Jesus) is the physical and redemptive expression of the invisible God. As John 1:14 proclaims, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." His role is to bridge the gap between fallen humanity and the holiness of the Father. The Gnostic Gospel of Thomas points to the "Light within" — an echo of Christ’s call in John 8:12, "I am the Light of the World." Christ is not merely a messenger; He is the Message embodied.
The Holy Spirit and Its Parallels
"How would you explain the Holy Spirit?"
The Holy Spirit is the active, indwelling power of God, alive in the believer. Romans 8:11 (AMP) states, "And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies."
In Buddhism, the idea of "prajna" — transcendent wisdom — flows through those awakened, much like the Holy Spirit empowers and enlightens. In the Gnostic text, the Pistis Sophia, the Holy Spirit is often depicted as the guiding hand pulling souls toward the Light.
God the Father: The Hidden Source
"How would you explain God the Father?"
God the Father is the unseen Source, the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9), the wellspring from which all life originates. Jesus often pointed beyond Himself to the Father: "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me" (John 7:16, AMP).
Early Gnostic Christianity often spoke of the unknowable "Depth" or "Bythos," aligning with the profound mystery surrounding God the Father. Buddhists acknowledge the "Unborn" and "Uncreated" Source — a reality beyond grasp, yet present in all things.
Buddhist Parallels
"How would you explain the similarities to Buddhist teaching?"
The triune nature of the Godhead finds a distant mirror in Buddhist teachings on the Three Jewels. The Christian pursuit of salvation through faith, discipline, and compassion mirrors the Buddhist Eightfold Path's aims of wisdom, ethical conduct, and mental discipline.
Both traditions speak of an internal transformation — dying to the old self to live anew — although Christ uniquely offers reconciliation with God through His sacrifice, something no other faith tradition claims.
Evaluating the Trinity Teaching
"Is the Trinity teaching biblically sound?"
The word "Trinity" does not appear in the Bible; it was developed in the early Church councils to explain the relationship between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — notably at Nicaea (325 AD).
Yet, the concept is deeply biblical. Matthew 28:19 commands: "Go therefore and make disciples... baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
The Trinity is a human attempt to describe a divine mystery. Scripture affirms their unity, though man’s language can only scratch the surface of such a profound truth.
Lost Books and New Insights
"What do the Lost Books say about the Godhead?"
The Gnostic gospels and other recovered texts like the Gospel of Mary and the Gospel of Truth add color and context to early Christian thinking. Sophia (Wisdom) plays a prominent role, hinting at a feminine aspect of divine revelation.
Rather than undermining biblical truth, these texts, when properly discerned, reveal the hunger of early believers to understand mysteries not easily contained in human words.
As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 2:7 (AMP): "But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory."

Truth is not afraid of the light. In searching beyond the boundaries set by tradition, we find the living God waiting in the wilderness of our questions. Seek. Ask. Knock. The door will be opened.

Questions authored by Minister Tim Greco of Timothy Greco Ministries. Responses compiled with biblical, historical, and philosophical references for a broader spiritual perspective.
In every generation, God has raised up men and women to stand on the front lines of faith—preachers, teachers, prayer warriors, lovers of souls, encouragers, helpers, and leaders. But even the strongest among us cry out in the silent chambers of the heart: Who ministers to the ministers? Beloved, today we look at these piercing questions through the unshakable Word of God, as would a watchman sounding the alarm upon the walls of Zion. May the answers bring strength to the weary and courage to the faint-hearted. In Jesus' mighty name—let’s go!
Who preaches to a preacher?
The Word of God itself preaches to the preacher. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (AMP) declares, "All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will]... so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work." When the preacher grows weary, he returns to the cross, and the Word rises up to preach a greater sermon into his soul.
Who teaches a teacher?
The Holy Spirit is the Teacher of all teachers. John 14:26 (AMP) promises, "But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name... He will teach you all things." Even the wisest teacher bows before the Spirit of God, who leads into all truth. The humble heart remains forever a student at the feet of Christ.
Who prays for a prayer warrior?
Christ Himself intercedes for us! Romans 8:34 (AMP) shouts the triumphant news: "Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us." When the prayer warrior falls exhausted, the Great High Priest, Jesus Christ, is already lifting their name before the throne of glory!
Who loves a lover?
God is the Lover of our souls. 1 John 4:10 (AMP) says, "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins." Even when the earthly vessel is poured out in love for others, God Himself replenishes the heart with everlasting, unfailing love.
Who encourages an encourager?
The God of all comfort strengthens the encourager. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (AMP) proclaims, "Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts and encourages us in every trouble..." Every encourager finds their own encouragement first from the pierced hands of the Savior.
Who helps a helper?
Our Help comes from the Lord! Psalm 121:1-2 (AMP) declares, "I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]—From where shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." No matter how burdened the helper becomes, their strength is renewed in the One who neither slumbers nor sleeps.
Who leads a leader?
The Good Shepherd leads His leaders. Psalm 23:1-3 (AMP) reminds us, "The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], I shall not want. He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters. He refreshes and restores my soul (life)." The leaders of men are themselves led by the Shepherd-King, Jesus Christ!
Some people have no idea what some people go through. But God knows. God sees. God strengthens. And in Jesus' name — let’s go!
Ministry Notes
In times of service, even the strongest servants need revival. Let the Word of God minister deeply to every heart that has poured itself out in love, prayer, teaching, and leadership. No one is unseen by the Lord of Hosts!
Why A Different Path Draws from Many Wells, But Drinks from One Source
People ask why I reach beyond the boundaries of Christian tradition. Here's the straight-up truth:
I’m not here to build walls around your soul. I’m here to rip down the lies that have been chaining people for centuries. The Bible — the true Word of God — wasn’t meant to be locked behind stained-glass walls or twisted into a puppet that dances for whoever holds the strings. If a truth is real, it stands tall on its own, and no man-made institution, political game, or social status should have the power to change it.
There’s wisdom in the pages of scripture, but you gotta understand — like anything man touches, it gets tainted over time. For centuries, anyone daring to dig into the Lost Gospels or Gnostic texts — the ones stripped away, the ones hidden — were branded heretics. It wasn’t heresy, people. It was thinking for yourself. It was critical thought and taking the red pill when the world’s got you swallowing blue pills.
Religion, politics, and power structures have been fighting tooth and nail to bury truth. They’ve rewritten scripture to fit their own twisted agenda. And what do we get? Cults. Leaders claiming to have the "only real truth" — feeding you lies and setting you up to follow them blindly, over a cliff and straight into hell.
Listen up: truth is truth, no matter where it echoes. But mark this down: everything gets measured by the fire of Scripture. If it don’t stand against the Word, it burns. If it lines up? It sharpens the edge of the sword already in God’s hand.
Proverbs 4:7 (AMP) says it loud and clear: "The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]! And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]."
Jesus Christ - for Christians - is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6, AMP). He’s the only way that saves. No philosophy, no worldview, no self-help guru is gonna replace Him. But listen: God can use broken echoes from a broken world to wake people up and point them back home.
This ain’t about religion. This is war. A war for your soul. And the only weapon that won’t fail you is the Word of the Creator.
The crazy thing is, wisdom you’ll find in traditions outside Christianity often echoes the very same truths Scripture’s been hollering for centuries. Our world wasn’t always as locked down as they want you to believe. Traders, explorers, thinkers — they blended teachings from all over. That’s how so many things now seen as “pagan” got wrapped up into Christian traditions. So, for all you self-righteous theology thumpers with your heads stuck in the sand, let me hand you a little gift: The Internet. Spend less time arguing with fools who don’t care about your life and more time learning the truth. Because in the end, when it’s all said and done, you’ll stand before the Creator. Doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a suit or living on the streets. He sees through the mask.”
In addition to the truths unearthed here, I will be curating a separate series under the title Mysti's Magazine—an exploration of sacred femininity, the celebration of the woman's form, spirit, and power, stripped of the shame imposed by religious tradition.
Mysti’s Magazine will walk where few dare tread—honoring the body as a temple of both passion and purpose, and rejecting the dogmas that have long sought to chain womanhood under the weight of guilt. It will speak without apology. It will celebrate without shame.
Both works, though different in focus, spring from the same source: a relentless pursuit of authenticity. A return to what is holy because it is human, not because it has been sanitized for approval.
The gatekeepers of tradition may call it heresy. I call it truth.
Guided by the foundational question instilled by my father and reinforced by my mother—What are you not being told, and why?—I refused to accept surface-level teachings. I sought the forbidden paths, the suppressed texts, and the silenced voices.
From a young age, it was clear: the fairy tales and sanitized Bible stories taught in both Catholic and Protestant circles were hollow echoes of a deeper reality. When countless religions, denominations, and cults each claim divine authority—often at the cost of blood and land, justified by invoking the will of God—the honest seeker must ask:
What has been hidden? What sacred truths were sacrificed to power?
In this blog, I go beyond the sanctioned boundaries set by church leadership. I will expose the veiled history they condemned as heresy—and illuminate the vast spiritual landscape they fear you will discover.
Mysti’s Magazine will dare to explore beauty, sensuality, and spirit as they were always meant to be: bold, radiant, and unashamed.
Here, the Divine Masculine and Sacred Feminine meet without apology.
Images. Words. Movement. All honoring the wild, holy nature of womanhood.
The gates are opening... and once entered, you will not leave unchanged.
